Departing from the trend in recent years to paint houses all-white, the Show House was painted completely black – setting a strikingly dramatic tone.

Interior Design Idea No. 7
Paint bead board a color other than white.
Bob Brown’s seriously stunning screen porch is a coup for classy cocooning (do we ever see black bead board ceilings or art hung from firewood?)

I love that black bead board! Have to find a place to install it!?
Author
We see shiplap painted black but rarely bead board – thanks for reading!
I’ve never seen black bead board but I have seen it painted a super dark green in old Victorian houses. It appeared nearly black but upon closer inspection it was green. Apparently what goes around, comes around…but with a wee bit of a twist. 😉
Author
So true! I think of old English country houses with that deep dark blackish green – so regal and handsome. 🙂
I just wanted to say thank you for making my mornings a pleasure!
Author
Well, that is a lovely thing to say. Thank you for making me smile. 🙂
So much beauty. So much to think about! Thanks ?
Author
